Final Product – Human Body Systems You will use the Class Wikispace to create a newsletter describing the systems of the human body. You will have one class period to research and gather information and graphics using your labs, handouts, textbook, and the Internet. You will have one class period to design and put the information in your newsletter. Use your time wisely!
Basic Requirements: • Use Wikispaces • Have a descriptive title • Include the name of author (that’s you) • Use all 4 pages of the template • Give credit where credit is due – ALL sources of information and graphics must be listed in the Works Cited • One graphic / image for each system must be included as part of the explanation of that system. The graphic may be clipart or an image from the Internet. If you use an image from the Internet, you must give appropriate credit in the Works Cited section. • The newsletter must have 9 articles or stories: · Page 1 has 2 stories – one describing general information about the human body, and one discussing ways to keep a body healthy · The following systems must be discussed on pages 2 and 3: · Digestive · Respiratory · Circulatory · Nervous · Muscular · Skeletal · Information to include on each system – structure (the organs) and function (what each organ does), purpose of the system, how the system works with other systems, and diseases or disorders of the system or organs in the system · Page 4 contains an article explaining other body systems and a “works cited” section
Design Issues: • Use clear easy-to-read fonts for the text. Good fonts: · Times · Arial · Tahoma · Antique Olive Not good fonts: · Handwriting or Script Fonts · Jokerman • You can use more “decorative” fonts for the titles • Stay within your color schemes – too many colors are distracting • Using too many different fonts is also distracting • Keep your text font size between 10 – 14 points • Title font size should be larger than 14 points
Grading: • You have a rubric that identifies the criteria that will be used in evaluating your newsletter. Use it to guide your work. You are in control of your grade. • You will be graded on two things: content and design.
